6. Turn off all electrical loads by setting the gener-
ator’s main circuit breakers to their “OFF” (or
open) position.
7. Let the unit run at no-load for a few minutes to
stabilize internal engine/generator temperatures.
Then, shut down the engine.
NOTE:
The generator set was thoroughly tested and
adjusted at the factory before shipping. No addi-
tional adjustment should be necessary. Only quali-
fied service technicians who have been trained
should perform adjustments outlined in this
manual.
3.4 TESTING UNDER LOAD
Apply electrical loads equal to about 75 to 100 per-
cent of the unit's rated wattage/amperage capacity.
Let the unit run at least 30 minutes with load applied.
During this part of the test, check that the unit is not
running excessively hot and that adequate cooling
airflow is available. Do not allow the unit to overheat
during prolonged operation.
NOTE:
The generator engine is equipped with a high tem-
perature switch. The switch has normally closed
(N.C.) contacts. When the engine temperature is
too high, switch contacts close, and the engine
shuts down automatically.
THE MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDS THAT THE
GENERATOR BE TESTED FOR ADEQUATE COOL-
ING.
